Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Egg"

A: “I’ve got an egg on my face.”
= A phrase of embarrassment

You’ve been caught in a foolish or embarrassing moment, so you “don’t look good.” You wouldn’t look good with an egg on your face either.

A: They mean to bring them a hard boiled egg.

A: It’s just a play on the old “joke”
“why did the chicken cross the road?”
“To get to the other side”

Not funny. Kids like to tell it.

But people have added to it...since the chicken is going across already (from the original joke) people add all kinds of things. So, the egg went across because it was attached to the chicken. 😐
Not sure why this joke has survived so long.

A: it sounds like the characters were provoking the snake. He was encouraging the snake to do a certain behavior.. or at least I am assuming.

A: 'To egg' means throw raw eggs at something.

E.g. "His house was egged/got egged."
"I'm going egging on Halloween".

A: “Walk on egg shells” (Idiom)

Examples:

- My mother-in-law is oversensitive. I feel like we’re all walking on egg shells every time she visits.

- When I worked there, I noticed that the employees were always walking on egg shells to avoid upsetting their director. He has such a terrible temper!

- If you feel like you always have to walk on egg shells to please someone else, maybe it is time to move on.

I hope this helps. :)

A: Egg on one's face means to be embarrassed so some examples would be:

"I was totally wrong and now I have an egg on my face."

But this isn't a common phrase. I don't think I've ever heard anyone use it outside of a cartoon, so people might be confused if you used it.

A:

Egg white – the word that everybody uses. Every ordinary person understands what this is.

A: Ok, so I found an answer for you:
With a cat, there is more than one thing you can be allergic to; you might be allergic to cat hair, or you might be allergic to cat dander. You might be allergic to both. Since there is more than one thing, then it is plural. Cat allergies.
An egg is just one thing, and if you are allergic to eggs, you are just allergic to the egg as a whole. Since it is only one allergy, and not multiple allergies like the allergies to cat hair and cat dander, then it is singular. Egg allergy.
